The solutions provided by Ulysta for SmartPlant Electrical reduces the error margins and associated costs significantly. Ulysta not only enhances the efficiency in the electrical design, construction, operation and maintenance, it also impacts the quality and reliability of the overall system.
- For SmartPlant Instrumentation
With the help of Instrumentation, Ulysta helps its clients to manage their instrumentation and control assets using the latest features and techniques. For the EPC companies, the support includes:
- Design rules and validation
- Migration and customization
- Modification of instrument data using SPI software and published in SPF
- Training and development
- P&ID Support Assistance
This offering by Ulysta has numerous benefits which include the following:
- Project setup
- Analysis of AutoCAD/Microstation files for automation
- Scanning of the design rule base
- Rule base creation
- Import into SP P&ID
- Updation of markups
- Quality control and consolidation
- Delivery guaranteed percentage of converted P&IDs
Application of different verticals of SmartPlant
Intergraph’s SmartPlant has 7 major verticals that are being used for various purposes by the energy sector.
Implementation of SmartPlant has helped companies like Siemens generate revenue of $37.6 billion and a profit of $4.8 billion.
Intergraph, which is now a part of Hexagon, has been providing engineering software to many industries across the world since 1969.
- SmartPlant Electrical
SmartPlant Electrical uses data to provide quality, reliability, and efficiency in electrical design, construction, operation, and maintenance. Every stage of the workflow is being covered by the SmartPlant Electrical, from engineering with validation through the bidirectional ETAP interface, to detailed design such as wiring and panel designs, cable routing, etc.
All these features of SmartPlant Electrical make it a must use for every industry. It is being rigorously used for electrical engineering and design in the process, power, and marine industries.
- SmartPlant 3D
SmartPlant 3D is the most advanced software introduced to the industry to solve problems like the amount of time taken to reduce project design cycles and the need to re-use the as-built models of plants.
SmartPlant 3D assists in ship/offshore projects and materials handling with those of onshore plant design. The software has multi-industry capabilities and is thus applied for marine structural objects, pipe spec mapping, and drawing reuse.
- SmartPlant P&ID
SmartPlant P&ID is a software developed to efficiently create and improve plant configurations. It assists in creating the plant configuration with all equipment, pipelines, and instruments.
SmartPlant 3D is used majorly by the EPC contractors to provide high-quality design. It is used during design, construction, commissioning, and operations. It increases the efficiency of downstream design activities such as control system design and piping.
- SmartPlant Construction
SmartPlant Construction was developed keeping in mind the daily struggle of the construction planners to keep up with billions of bits of data. 4D visualization is a key feature that was developed to help planners identify project-critical paths and re-sequence work packages to eliminate costly delays.
SmartPlant Construction is used by construction companies, project management offices, fabricators, and owners to manage construction resources, materials being used and schedules.
- SmartPlant Review
SmartPlant Review is a 3D visualization tool which on the large provides 3D model navigation. It comes very handy for those who want to use the 3D model as a graphical interface to access project data linked to the model. It is used for load projects of any size, during HAZOP (hazardous operations) reviews, accessibility studies, and downstream projects, including retrofits and upgrades.
SmartPlant for Energy Industry
SmartPlant has been constantly bringing new solutions to help enhance the efficiency of the energy sector. Through its products, the company has created a significant impact in Oil and Gas, Marine Offshore and Shipbuilding, Nuclear and Power Generation, Chemical, and Metals and Mining industries. The decreased shut down in the downstream sector, enhanced decision making by designers and better planning of the plants are the results of efficient SmartPlant software solutions. Addressing and solving the challenges of so many industries with a single solution is commendable and SmartPlant is striving to get more efficient in doing that and much more.
